A Pleasurable Deal was a particularly lewd play that was banned in a number of cities across the Realms, directed by the first-time author and director named Kingsley Harp.[1]

Come hear fair folk a tale now lost to time.

In grief, this man well-sunk to depths sublime
A gift he sought to win his lady's heart.
Our cambion smiled, for now the game did start.

— Excerpt from A Pleasurable Deal.[1]

Description[]

A Pleasurable Deal told the story of Robert, a tiefling man whose wife had left him for another lover. He was approached by a cambion named Carlisle, who astutely observed Robert's greatest insecurity and woe: his insignificant member that was insufficient to impregnate his wife. In the play's finale, Robert died in a horrible way after breaking the deal with Carlisle.[1]

A Pleasurable Deal's inspiration came from the director – Mr. Kingsley Harp's desire to explore taboos and human nature, according to a published interview. Despite the interviewer's statement that most people would never make a deal with a champion, Kingsley interrupted, saying that everyone wants something and cambions knew mortals better than they knew themselves. The interview was cut short after Kingsley Harp was asked if he had made a deal himself after countless publications refused print by the tabloid called Baldur's Bash.[1]

History[]

As of the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, copy of A Pleasurable Deal could be found in a tollhouse along the Risen Road.[1]
